May I ask about the WCM+ device? When it powers on, it can print a QR code test photo, but the mobile device cannot connect to 192.168.4.1. (Previously, on the first connection, I accidentally configured a “party” setting, and since then it has stopped working.) Could you please help me figure out what the issue might be, or whether there is a way to reset the device to its original state?
Absolutely, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-814-4672 for help with WCM
Impressive🎉 as always Rex🤙🏼
I c U. Your channel is FIRE!!!!!!!!
My WCM plus is not connecting to my hotspot would you happen to know what is causing this issue?
Lets fiesta, lets get that taken care of for you. DNP Support at 1-800-814-4672.
Hello Rex. I wonder if WCM Plus can connect to the old version Rx1?
❤yes, it is compatible with all the DNP dye sub printers, even the DS40. Came out over 10yrs ago
@ thanks you so much. have a good day sir ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Rex! Thanks for sharing! I followed your video on this. I "updated" my WCM2 about 5 months ago and I'm wondering if the updates are similar to the PLUS? Or should I look at just buying a plus?
Great question. The interface is similar so that’s a plus. But the real difference is in the speed for processing prints and that’s due to upgraded hardware and DNP building plus from the ground up. Processing a print on WCM2 is 19 seconds. Print processing on a plus is 7-9 seconds. It’s almost 3 times as fast. Buying a plus eventually is the way to go. Can keep the WCM2 as backup or home use
I love how the cube has an option to plug in USB to power the wcm! Also, love that new data that shares about the number count and info. This is a new feature right?
Yasss the print count is new. The USB port is not recommended for WCM plus as it may be under powered. Buy can be used for phone charging :)
Great video! Is there a way to connect to your iPads LTE/5G to share images online while connected to the the ethernet hardwire?
@@iplayazi pls try it and report back. We don’t have any iPads with 5g. I’m under the impression it’s ☝️ one or the other.if you are using Ethernet or 5g
The aircastpro 3 seems to be a better deal as a print server for the dnp printer . Have a look
Oh absolutely, check out this video here

That's awesome!
Hello Rex, using photobooth software can you print as well as sent text messages while hookes up to WCM Plus
Yes, if you have an internet connection, you would configure WCM to send out.
Do you have a video on how to configure WCM to send out text?
… we can’t still print partial matte with the server it really bothers me. And it still lacks of a good ergonomic. . I hope it’s not too buggy like the WCM2. And i still don’t understand why they can’t power the server from the printer
USB c requires more power than micro usb. So cannot be powered by printer.
Hi,may I want to know at 22:08 second ,the iPad’s shows “tap to start” picture,that could be customized? or that is an app? and want to know how to add design frame to ipad? Thanks you
All Photo Booth apps allow you to insert a tap to start screen
Thanks Rex. Do you have a link of the ethernet adapter shown here in your video? Looking for more wired printing set up
Sure, here you go. amzn.to/3yoYHF1
@@Rexsphotoboothreviews thanks for the quick reply. Do you have a video for Ipad and DSlR and printing set up?
@@bashfactory3106printing setup for iPad camera and dslr is the same. No change
Rex, how do you get lumabooth to work while hardwired with ethernet cable?

Great video! Quiestion bro , i just installed it yesterday, connected my ipad to wcmplus hotspot, went on the IP selected the printer (i had a wcm2 so i just did the same steps) but when im in lumabooth and try to print a test page it says "please configure printer before printing" it dosnt let me print, i tried reboting, restarting, openein the IP again choosing the printer again and nothing, do you know what can i do?
You can call dnp, and they will walk you through it. It’s absolutely free.

@@Rexsphotoboothreviews I have the exact same issue. Connected wcm to my wifi network, and the ipad to the same network, I can print from photos app via airprint, but from Lumabooth it does not print, and wen trying to print test page it says the same "please configure printer before printing". Any idea how to fix?
One question: If the WCM Plus is selected for your iPad’s Wi-Fi connection, how does your iPad access the internet to set up the printer?
Your WCM plus works as an access point. You connect the Plus to your WIFI.
Thanks for sharing! I was wandering if you could do a review of the WCM plus with a windows laptop. I have the RX1 HS, a Canon 1Ds mk iii DSLR and CamFi wireless transfer from camera to laptop as I am thinking about a 1 person setup. I am know that the WCM plus works with the HOT FOLDER from DNP to print automatically, as soon as the picture is taken. I do prefer a wired connection of hardware apart from the camera for health and safety reasons.
did you get an answer I have the same only my printer is not HS RX1 only and Canon camera did you get the set up with the laptop working
@@geniegino No I did not get an answer. I am going to switch software to darkroom core edition and shoot tethered instead. It seams to be a more stable option.
@@iangill6761 thank you I have used capture one
Hello! I run salsa booth with dnpw2, So Slow....! Can I har wire the plus to the iPad and still connect to wifi from texting and email?
Hi Rex, great video. I was trying the ethernet solution with a J5 create to Apple lightning, but it did not seem to work. What adapter are you using for the ethernet solution? Thanks in advance.
If you have USB C use this ethernet adapter. Will also allow you to charge at same time. amzn.to/47VOTOU
Hey Rex, while having the Plus connected to printer and using it for printing. Am I still able to send digital copies via the booth? My iPad has a plan so no need to use wifi but since I’ll be connected to the wcm wifi, would that affect sending copies digitally? Do I need to connect the wcm to a hotspot as well?
@@Ob1fooo in the portal of the WCM, you need to connect the WCM to the Internet 🛜 in order to send digitally
Hey Rex question please help! So I connect the WCM plus everything correctly but it doesn’t print on photo apps or luma booth. It just works with the WCM portal when I do WCM print or test print on the portal.
I had 3 times where it worked fine and printed but now it’s not printing at all! Just showings waiting status on the print center on my iPad!
What is wrong 😭😭😭 this has been a big headache
@@401Kicks of course, you can reach out to contact DNP Customer Service at 1-800-814-4672.
Or setup an appt for 1 on 1 tutorial. I would reach out to DNP first to make sure the unit is working
@@Rexsphotoboothreviews okay thank you for the fast response! and just making sure I don’t need a laptop right ?
Since I have the WCM Pro, IPad and DNP DS-RX1HS printer that’s all I need and a hotspot from my phone or WiFi, that’s all I need right ????
@@401Kicksmany ways to connect. You need a laptop or WCM plus but not both. Watch this video for the different methods

Where to purchase?
Can I print photos directly from my iPhone?
Yes, you can print from your phone. Watch this. th-cam.com/video/htnJIUBGEFg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Txq7fpFDfVSQpuu5
Why not use the USB3?
How can we print 2x6
@@nathalieleyva5912 WCM plus portal allows you to choose multiple size prints depending on your paper and printer 🖨️
If my ipad is connected to the WSM, can I connect through the venues WIFI still through the WSM application? If not virtual sharing would be cut out. Sorry if I missed that part in your video .
It connects thru the WCM applicatoin
I want to buy that server. How can i buy it? Im from Philippines.
Is there any way to adjust the output...color/brightness/hues/ etc.
No color adjustments, the plus is calibrated for dnp printers so they are pretty close if not dead on
Great video Rex, question. Will it also prompt 2x6 prints?
Yes, WCM plus has the drivers for 2x6
Where did you get the adaptor from to plug in the Ethernet and Charge the iPad at the same time? Would love to grab one also!
Here are all the products listed here. th-cam.com/video/htnJIUBGEFg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q2EvdOEuejC503gR
Isn't this WCM Plus just a raspberry pi print server in a box? Crazy they charge $200 for a $50 device.
Good morning,
I am in France, this product does not exist on the DNP Europe website.
For what ?
You may try calling DNP: USA for a dealer 1-800-814-4672
Can I plug a Canon R6II directly into the WCM Plus then use the Ipad to see the images and print? Does this come with Party pics software? Thank you
It is compatible with DNP Party Print which I believe is a subscription. The WCMP plus uses the airprint protocol which the R6 does not use. You may be able to connect r6 to an ipad connected to the wcm plus to print. lots of software options in between, but NOT directly to.
@@Rexsphotoboothreviews Thanks, I'm looking to do volunteer Santa pictures and would like to limit the equipment needed. What are the USB connections for? I see the USB 3 jack on the side. Can I connect a camera to that port? also how much archive storage is on the WCM Plus?
@@cperkin2 the WCM plus doesn’t work that way. Your best bet is to connect to a windows pc
Hello sir, I am a photographer from India, I have to make a photobooth, I have only a DSLR camera and a DNP printer, I need your help in making a photo booth or I also need an app.
Awesome!!! Pls email me. Rex@photoboothbizconference.com
Can you USE with other printer besides DNP and direct SD card
A WCM is configured for DNP only. Will NOT work by inserting SD card. The software is on the original SD card so you cannot remove the sd card in there.
Thank You
5pm, Rex's we need help with our ipad to wcm plus
How may I help?
We got it , but confused on how I can do prints using Ethernet cable incase I don't have wifi. I have a ipad and wcm plus, do I need a special adapter? Also is there a adapter I can use to charge ipad and split and power another item? Thank you so much.
Yes you need Ethernet adapter. Here you go. amzn.to/3w7M6VH

@@RexsphotoboothreviewsI don’t understand mine don’t have either?
I can’t login to the wcm page. Does anyone know username and password?
If you can print from photos app on iPad and it works, then the issue is most likely with Lumabooth.
Printer works, WCM plus is working, so that leaves…. #luma

Your intro music is way too loud. Please match the audio levels to your speaking audio. Thank you for the tutorial.
Absolutely, I have been able to get microphones and edit audio as well. Checkout some of my new videos. It’s a world of difference
If this is $199, I'm in! I guess we'll see. Nice review! 👍
Fingers crossed!
@@Rexsphotoboothreviews That Pi model sells for $90 plus a $10 plastic case. Plenty of profit at $199. Plus there's a guy who just released the code to build your own on the lumabooth page. Same speed. I'd rather not have to learn Pi code, but price will be important.
It IS $199 and mine shipped out yesterday! Definitely going to be watching this video a few times to make sure I get it setup right.@@Rexsphotoboothreviews
@@edaltounian7118 do you have the link to the page with the code?
Who carries this and what is the price?
DNP resellers will have this. No price listed at this time.
